4.0.4

Transmission 4.0.4

This is a bugfix-only release. Everyone's feedback on 4.0.x has been very helpful -- thanks for all the suggestions, bug reports, and pull requests!

What's New in 4.0.4

All Platforms

• Fixed bug in sending torrent metadata to peers. (#5460)
• Avoid unnecessary heap memory allocations. (#5520, #5527)
• Fixed filename collision edge case when renaming files. (#5563)
• Fixed locale errors that broke number rounding when displaying statistics, e.g. upload / download ratios. (#5587)
• Always use a fixed-length key query in tracker announces. This isn't required by the spec, but some trackers rely on that fixed length because it's common practice by other BitTorrent clients. (#5652)
• Fixed potential Windows crash when getstdhandle() returns NULL. (#5675)
• Fixed 4.0.0 bug where the port numbers in LDP announces are sometimes malformed. (#5825)

GTK Client

• Fixed missing 'Remove torrent' tooltip. (#5777)

Web Client

• Don't show null as a tier name in the inspector's tier list. (#5462)
• Fixed truncated play / pause icons. (#5771)
• Fixed overflow when rendering peer lists and made speed indicators honor prefers-color-scheme media queries. (#5814)
• Made the main menu accessible even on smaller displays. (#5827)

transmission-cli

• Fixed "no such file or directory" warning when adding a magnet link. (#5426)
